Well I think now that we have moved to K3M style windowing (HORAH! something I 
suggested AGES ago ;-) there are a number of options.

I think for the moment, just adding it back into the tools menu and perhaps 
having it select and popup the default "suggested songs" or "random songs" 
playlist might be a start.

Perhaps in a wizard style implementation.

I don't want to change the playlist concept as mentioned I think from a purely 
academic point of view that makes sense. 

Perhaps with k3m the concept of having the dynamic mode playlist loading as a 
seperate pane above the main playlist... and populating concurently could 
work...

I.e You have the main playlist above it the suggested/random dynamic list... 
and then say being able to manually add stuff to the main playlist from the 
suggested/dynamic playlist....

Essentially this would be similar to the context menu, but far more specific 
and easier to manage. It also increases functionality in that you have more 
control over what is actually getting played....

I like this idea quite a lot, and it also means you don't have two different 
metaphors operating for the main playlist pane.

What do others think?
